It has recently been covertly decreed by both houses of the Cortes Generales that a police force should be created to stem the growth of political insurrection within our borders; this organization the CES was therefore tasked to investigate and to combat all tendencies harmful to both Crown and Country. When it comes to the juxtaposition between the CES and society it is clear that this organization must not succumb to lure of a reactionary existence, but the political police must be proactive in fighting the ever changing enemies of the nation; therefore matters pertaining to the CES are not subject to the review of the administrative courts in order to allow the political police the leeway to deal with altering dangers in any means necessary without be caught in the maw of legality. As long as the CES is intrinsically acting in the best interests of the governed everything it does will be considered legal.
